Mette Maria Petersen's parents, Ane & Jens O. Petersen were on the Willie Handcart company in 1856.
Mette Maria Petersen was only a 10 year old girl when she came to Utah. The entire family survived the trek and settled in northern Utah. She is my great, great grandmother.
Metta Maria married James Olsen who also came from Denmark as a boy in 1850. They had 15 children.
